Just a Regular Kid, Sort Of

One Day Later

“Harlottewearing Mommy’s sunglasses” (That’s what she calls herself. That or “you.”)

Okay. I know I can’t declare success after just one day. And I certainly can’t declare success when Charlotte drank only about 65% of her Pediasure today.

But, hell, SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!! At dinner tonight Charlotte (1) willingly went to the table (2) ate four ounces of (pureed) refried beans by herself. She took the spoon from me and insisted on feeding herself. And…(3) on the way home from a playdate this afternoon she ate thirty or so Cheerios and three Teddy Grahams. She asked for them.

Yeah, she vomited after/during lunch. She was really congested. But, really, today was a sea-change.
